Evil mode "o" auto indent in text mode - how to turn it off?

Question

When I press o in evil mode (which moves the cursor to the line under, and goes into insert mode), the cursor is indented by two spaces.

When I press o, the cursor goes
  here

This happens in text mode and elisp buffers.

I tried to shut it off with this:

(defun remove-autoindent ()
  (electric-indent-mode nil))
 
(add-hook 'emacs-lisp-mode-hook 'remove-autoindent)
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'remove-autoindent)

But it didn't work. Which setting is causing this behavior?

I do not have any indent instructions outside of web-mode :config within use-package.

Answer 1

Coincidentally I just figured out a fix before finding this issue:

(setq evil-auto-indent nil)

Note however that if evil-auto-indent is set, pressing o just calls indent-according-to-mode behind the scenes, so however you have that set up is likely the root cause.
